This information is exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, Section 43(2).
Our view is that it would not be in the public interest to share the average fee for this service. This is because sharing this information could jeopardise our ability to achieve best value for money, and would have a detrimental financial effect. Devon County Council acknowledge that there is a general public interest in openness and transparency. However, there is a stronger public interest in ensuring that the maximum amount of money can be spent on services for the people of Devon. Therefore, for this reason we believe that the balance of public interest lies in withholding this information currently.
